Calderazzo

SETTING

With a glass frontage onto lively Soi Langsuan, the spacious modern interior offers well-placed tables in separate seating areas on two levels.

FOOD

Calderazzo offers a wide selection of Italian cuisine and, now established for over three years, ranks among Bangkok’s finest. The inspiration of Marco Calderrazo, its produce and the wines reflect his mixed Italian/Australian origin. Amongst the appetisers, favourites include carpaccio del papa, or thinly sliced Australian beef with shaved parmigiano, walnut and mushroom; and antipasto misti, a mixed selection of appetisers of the day. There are numerous freshly prepared pasta and risotto dishes, a standout being fettucine verde, hand-made spinach fettucine with Italian pork sausage, porcini and shiitake mushrooms. The best of the entrees include osso bucco served on saffron risotto, and grilled barramundi fillet on a bed of sauteed spinach with fresh mixed green salad and lemon tomato concasse condiment. Of note in a good selection of desserts are lemoncella, baked lemon tart and creamy panna cotta, whilst an interesting choice of seven Italian cheeses paired with wines is available for those with a less sweet tooth.

An extensive list in excess of 150 wines includes Italian, Australian and New Zealand labels ranging from very affordable to premium.
